Canon Bubble Jet orange light flashes

Three orange flashes generally means there is a paper jam or paper fragment in the print path or paper feed. Search carefully as it may be an ink soaked wad crammed into the cleaning station.

Power on the machine, open the front hatch as if changing a cartridge. Remove all the cartridges, then lift the locking arm holding the print head in place. Remove the print head and wash under running warm water. Dry it with a soft paper towel and replace it and the cartridges in the printer. Close the hatch and wait for the machine to reset. Hold the resume button until the power light flashes twice - it will do a self clean and test print.

You machine probably thinks it has more than one of the same colour installed. Take them all out and re-install one at a time allowing the machine to reset between each . If it doesn't fix the problem you will find out which cartridge is at fault and replace it.
